Xiao Chen and Cao Youqian's Cross-Continent Training

"Of course not. This disciple has come to ask for your help, Master, to open the teleportation array and send Little Chen and Daqian to other continents for training."

Chu Feng didn't mince words with the dean and directly stated his purpose.

Upon hearing this, the dean nodded slightly. "Xiao Chen and Youqian are indeed top-tier experts in the Profound Continent. Even newly enlightened Great Sage are no match for them. Going to other continents to seek opportunities in the Profound Continent is a good option. How many of you are going this time?"

Xiao Chen replied, "Reporting to Grandmaster, this disciple will send four."

He planned to bring his disciple Ximen Ye along, making a total of four people including Liu Yue'er and the Great Sage Mountain-Mover.

Cao Youqian also spoke up, "Grandmaster, there are four of us going together."

"Can."

The dean agreed without hesitation. Profound Continent ranks among the top three in strength on the Profound Heaven Continent. As long as the Great Sage protects them, these two little ones will not be in any danger no matter which continent they go to.

"Of the other seven continents of the Eight Desolations — Sword Continent, Heaven Continent, He Continent, Dragon Continent, Barbarian Continent, Vast Continent, and Desolate Continent —which continent do you plan to go to?"

Xiao Chen spoke first, "I've heard that sword cultivators are highly respected in the Sword Continent, and I'd like to go and see what their Sword Dao is like."

Cao Youqian, "This disciple wishes to go to the Barbarian Continent and see who has the stronger physique among the barbarians there."

The dean smiled and said, "It seems you two little ones came prepared. Alright, prepare for a few days. In three days, I will open the teleportation array to the two continents for you."

"Thank you, Grandmaster."

The two bowed and greeted the dean in unison.

The dean waved his hand. "You two little brats, why are you being so polite with me? You should go back first. I'll have a chat with your master."

"Promise."

The two responded and then turned and left.

Chu Feng poured tea for the dean and asked with a smile, "Sir, what important matter do you have with me here?"

The dean took a sip of tea and slowly said, "You're not far from achieving sainthood, are you?"

Chu Feng nodded. "The Dean has a keen eye. This disciple is indeed more than halfway to achieving perfect sainthood."

"Have you considered the path after you become a saint?"

The dean, toying with the teacup in his hand, asked with a smile.

Chu Feng shrugged. "This disciple only wants to be the head of the Miscellaneous Dao Institute for life; I haven't thought about anything else."

The dean laughed and said, "You little rascal, all you ever think about is good things. I'm still waiting for you to take over, or do you want to go to another continent to be the head of a hospital?"

Chu Feng's face showed a thoughtful expression. "Sir, this matter is still premature. Let's talk about it after I become Saint."

"Alright, I'll let you have your fun for a while."

The dean didn't continue discussing the matter, and then took out a chessboard and played a game with Chu Feng.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. At noon that day, Chu Feng led the students of the Miscellaneous Dao Institute and the Dean to the Absolute Summit Peak where the External Affairs Institute was located.

The dean was already waiting here with a group of high-ranking officials from the External Affairs Institute.

"This disciple greets the Dean and fellow colleagues."

Chu Feng was the first to greet them.

No need for formalities.

The dean smiled and said, "The teleportation arrays to the Sword Continent and Barbarian Continent are ready. Chen'er, Daqian, you can set off now."

"Promise."

Xiao Chen and Cao Youqian did not show any signs of reluctance to part.

Master often says: Temporary separation is only for a better reunion in the future.

Soon, Xiao Chen and Cao Youqian led the group into the teleportation arrays leading to the two continents.

The intercontinental teleportation array costs a considerable amount of spirit stones to activate each time, but fortunately, the Dao-Seeking Academy is large and wealthy and doesn't care about such a small amount of spirit stones.

The light on the teleportation array disappeared.

Xiao Chen, Cao Youqian, and the others disappeared into the teleportation array.

Chu Feng stared at the teleportation array, muttering, "I hope these two lads can become famous throughout the two continents."

The dean rarely saw Chu Feng like this, and said with a smile, "You kid, you don't even have confidence in your disciple?"

Chu Feng: "Of course not, I'm just curious how much they'll have grown when they come back after this departure."

The dean chuckled and joked, "You'd better hurry up and focus on your cultivation. If your two disciples return as Great Sage, you, their master, won't be proud."

Chu Feng smiled knowingly, "Rest assured, sir, I will absolutely not be surpassed by those two lads."

After exchanging pleasantries, everyone went their separate ways.

Sword Continent is a place where sword cultivators are revered.

In the Sword Continent, nine out of ten cultivators are sword cultivators.

Sword cultivators are mostly quick to draw their swords and fight at the slightest provocation, which leads to constant conflicts on the Sword Continent.

Sword Dao Academy and Dao-Seeking Academy are branches of the Sword Continent.

It is one of the top powers in the Sword Continent, second only to the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect, the overlord of the Sword Continent Sword Continent.

At this moment, at the Sword Dao Academy, on Sword-Riding Mountain.

The dean, along with a group of elders and several prodigies, waited outside a teleportation array.

Each of them had a resolute face, and their every move exuded a sharp aura.

An elderly man with gray hair and beard said with some impatience, "Dean, although my Sword Dao Academy is a branch of the Dao-Seeking Academy, the Dao-Seeking Academy has only sent a Saint Son at the Nirvana Realm this time. Why should we make such a big show of welcoming him?"

"Dean, Uncle Liu is right. His Nirvana Realm Saint Son may not be stronger than my Dao Integration Realm Sword Son."

A young man with a cold and stern face said with a disdainful expression.

Hearing the crowd's words, the dean spoke with an air of authority, "Silence! This prodigy of the Dao-Seeking Academy is the personal disciple of the Great Sage of our time, and he is exceptionally talented. In just a few decades, he has risen from an outer disciple to a holy son."

His strength and talent are unmatched by ordinary people. Most importantly, he is also a sword cultivator. You'd better put away your arrogance in a moment, lest you embarrass this old man."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately cupped their hands and said, "We will obey the Dean's orders."

But everyone harbored resentment towards that holy son, and some were even preparing to challenge him.

For a moment, the atmosphere on Sword-Riding Peak became exceptionally quiet.

The dean could easily see what these guys were thinking, but he couldn't very well continue to lecture them.

Fine, let these guys suffer a bit and learn what it means to be outmatched.

"The Dean's teleportation array is lit up; the Holy Son of the Dao-Seeking Academy is arriving."

A gasp broke the silence of the entire Sword-Riding Peak.

Everyone turned their attention to the teleportation array, eager to see what made the Holy Son of the Dao-Seeking Academy so different.

A moment later, the light on the teleportation array disappeared.

Then, three men and one woman appeared in everyone's sight.

Among them, a young man in black with striking eyebrows and bright eyes, exuding an aura of authority in every gesture, stood out.

This young man did not exude any pressure; he merely glanced at the crowd with his eyes. Wherever his gaze fell, many of the sword cultivators present involuntarily felt a sense of dread and dared not oppose him.

Even the swordsman from the Sword Dao Academy couldn't help but tremble, thinking to himself: This person is incredibly strong!

"Junior Xiao Chen pays respects to the seniors of the Sword Dao Academy."

Xiao Chen was the first to bow and pay his respects.

The Dean of the Sword Dao Academy said with a smile, "It is an honor to have Junior Nephew Xiao grace Sword Dao Academy with his presence."

Xiao Chen said respectfully, "Senior is too kind. I will be disturbing you for some time now, and I hope you will understand."

Dean of the Sword Dao Academy: "Junior Nephew Xiao, what are you saying? The Sword Dao Academy and the Dao-Seeking Academy are one family. Please, Junior Nephew."

"Senior, please."

No sooner had Xiao Chen finished speaking than an untimely voice rang out from the crowd.

"Isn't this a bit against the rules, Dean?"

Upon hearing this, everyone, including Xiao Chen, turned their attention to the speaker...
